This Delicious Irish Potato Pie combines creamy, cheesy mashed potatoes with a flaky pie crust for a comforting and hearty meal. Perfect for a cozy dinner, it can be made with a store-bought or homemade crust and features optional fresh herbs for added flavor.

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Crust

  • 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for added flavor, optional

Instructions

  1. Boil Potatoes: Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into a large pot. Cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Mash Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until creamy. Stir in the shredded cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Pie Crust: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and place it into a pie dish, ensuring it fits well.
  4. Fill the Pie: Spoon the mashed potato mixture evenly into the prepared crust.
  5. Top and Seal: If using a second crust, place it over the filling and seal the edges. Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish. If using a single crust, sprinkle fresh herbs on top.
  6. Bake: Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use any cheese of your choice to suit your taste.
  • Fresh herbs like chives or parsley add a subtle fresh flavor but are optional.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, ensure the cheese and crust ingredients meet your dietary requirements.
  • This pie pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
